Member Preview Opening Celebration for Mildred Howard: Poetics of Memory
Member Preview Opening Celebration
Junio 11 from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Be among the first to experience Mildred Howard: Poetics of Memory—the first major museum survey of the beloved Bay Area artist whose five-decade practice powerfully explores memory, identity, and the African American experience. Join the artist, curators, and community for an opening celebration with live music, bites, and refreshments—an inspiring evening honoring Mildred Howard’s enduring impact.
Spanning Howard’s five-decade practice, Poetics of Memory brings together her renowned collages, found-object sculptures, and immersive installations that explore memory, identity, and the African American experience. New and never-before-seen pieces punctuate the exhibition, while archival materials from Howard’s Oakland studio illuminate the cultural currents and lived experiences that shape her practice.
RSVP required for the evening celebration. Capacity is limited. QUESTIONS? Email [email protected] or call 510-318-8520.
